expansion teams settings

Syxx34 · 06-09-2009, 01:04 PM

What should I put the following at for when I bring expansion teams into a league?

Category (scale, if available) - what defaut settings was
Fan Interest (1-100) - 70
Fan Interest Modifier - 0
Fan Loyalty (0-10) - 7
Market Size (0-20) - 4
Cash - $0
Budget - $88 million
Media Contract - $24,348,450
Media Contract Years Left - 1
Media Revenue This Year - $24,348,450
Merchandising Revenue This Year - $0

What would make it real for an expansion team coming in as I think some are little high?

It depends on the market, in my opinion. Where would the teams be based? I'd give more Interest to a large market than a small. I'd probably put Loyalty at 5 or so, unless the city has had a team in the past and then probably a 7.

Teams are in Nashville, Tennessee and Las Vegas, Nevada. So what would you do?

I'd put the fan interest high. Historically expansion teams draw huge crowds. It may dissipate over time but initially it'll be high.

Off the top of my head...

Interest of 70 in Vegas, 80 in Nashville. Loyalty of 4 in Vegas, 6 in Nashville. Market size of 8 in Vegas, 6 in Nashville.

I figure Vegas gets the drop in fan love due to the nature of the city being a tourist trap, which also gives them a larger market. Nashville comes across as a pretty average city.

- Kelric what would you start there two budgets at?

- Anyone else want to express their opinion before I get home and put these numbers into the game. Remember teams are located in Nashville, Tn and Las Vegas, Nv.

I'd find your league average budget and give Nashville below average numbers and Vegas above average (with ownership willing to spend to get a big attraction).

Kelric · 06-10-2009, 03:22 PM

It's your league, Syxx.

Vegas at $105M and Nashville in the low eighties might be what I'd do.

Syxx34 · 06-10-2009, 03:25 PM

wanting to do my own league again...have since ootp2007. Never had expansion teams so i want get it close to real as possible. Is there any setting or way I should do the ratings re-calculating? Just want to get the best for the league.

Kelric · 06-10-2009, 03:41 PM

Don't bother with recalc if your league is starting in 2008 or later, it'll just screw things up.

Syxx34 · 06-10-2009, 03:53 PM

then how do your players ratings change or they dont? or just January 1st?

The game engine takes over like it always has in OOTP.

Is there a page where you can see everyone's budget on one screen? I found a report with everyone's payroll, I want to see the budgets.

Kelric · 06-10-2009, 09:10 PM

Your league dropdown menu at the top of the screen, then Reports then Financial Report.
